Min Woo Lee, 20, is fresh off reaching the Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament - also known as the final stage of Web.com Tour Q-School - and earning conditional status for the circuit in 2019. (Every player who made it to that stage earned conditional status. Lee finished the event T-67 at 15 under, three shots short of status that would guarantee him several 2019 Web.com Tour starts.)

With that, the sixth-ranked amateur in the world has confirmed to Golfweek he is turning professional. He follows in the footsteps of older sister Minjee Lee, who turned pro in 2014 at the age of 18.

Australia's move to strip IS suspect of citizenship in doubt

Australia's decision to strip a suspected Islamic State fighter of citizenship was thrown into doubt Wednesday, after it emerged he was not a dual citizen as once believed. require(["medianetNativeAdOnArticle"], function (medianetNativeAdOnArticle)

}); Neil Prakash was accused of being a member of the jihadist group, and was announced late last month as the 12th Australian dual-national to lose their passport over terrorism links.

Minjee's brother could've made the jump at the same age - he won the 2016 U.S. Junior Amateur just days before his 18th birthday - but decided to remain an amateur for a couple years thereafter. The time to move to the next level, though, has arrived.

"My sister was a very accomplished golfer at such a young age, and she was ready at 18," he told Golfweek. "I wasn't ready at 18, even at 20 I am still very young, but have discussed with my team (and) I feel now is the right time."

This will put yet another talented young Australian in the paid ranks. Jason Day turned pro at 19 and has since become a major champion and World No. 1. Adam Scott did the same and has accomplished the same. Cameron Smith, 25, also turned pro at 19 and already has won on the PGA and European tours. Curtis Luck, 22, and Ryan Ruffels, 20, also turned pro by age 20 and have displayed worlds of potential.

Emergency services in Australia's capital, Canberra and its second largest city, Melbourne, are responding to reports of multiple suspicious packages believed to have been delivered to a number of embassies and consulates in the two cities. require(["medianetNativeAdOnArticle"], function (medianetNativeAdOnArticle)

}); The Swiss consulate in Melbourne confirmed to CNN that a suspicious package was delivered at around 1.30 p.m. local time Wednesday (9.30 p.m. Tuesday ET), and that the police and fire services are currently investigating.

Min Woo Lee made history on Saturday, joining his sister, Minjee, as a USGA Junior champion with his 2-and-1 win over Noah Goodwin at The Honors Course. For regular updates from the United States Golf Association, visit usga.org.

Despite representing a country with such pedigree, the Aussie isn't making grand claims as he prepares for professional life. His plans are rather modest in the short-term, as he does not have a professional debut spot picked out. As for his schedule in 2019, he said he'll start with a few Monday qualifiers for Web.com Tour events "and see how we go from there."

Min Woo won't lack in support, as he notes that as far as management goes, "I'll be working with IMG." He will have Callaway helping him out on the equipment front. He also has Minjee, now 22 years old and a four-time LPGA winner, to offer thoughts on how to navigate the pro ranks.

"She's giving me some advice, especially staying patient," he said. "Hopefully I'll have a long career in golf so I definitely should stay in the present and hit one shot at a time."

Min Woo really started making a name for himself internationally in 2016 as he finished runnerup at the prestigious Junior Invitational at Sage Valley and won the U.S. Junior Amateur later that year.

Cabin crew for international airline Malindo Air have been accused of helping to smuggle heroin and methamphetamine worth millions of dollars from Asia to Australian cities, as part of a multinational syndicate. Australian Federal Police have arrested two flight crew and six other people as part of a six-month exercise codenamed Operation Sunrise. Four women in their 30s and 40s were among those held and four charges of importing controlled drugs have been filed.

GRANITEVILLE, S.C. – Min Woo Lee and Fred Lee occasionally like to joke around and tell people they are brothers. After all, the two Australian golf prodigies hail from Perth, Western There’s no timetable for when he will turn pro , but Min Woo expects to make the jump within the next two years.

He considered college golf but ultimately decided to remain based in Australia. Golf Australia, the governing body of golf in the country, helped in his playing a strong amateur schedule over the last couple of years. He also has been coached in Australia by renowned instructor Ritchie Smith for the last five years.

He has won a pair of amateur events and finished high in several others since his 2016 U.S. Junior triumph. He's also played in more than a dozen pro events in that time, making several cuts and posting four top-15 finishes.

Min Woo believes his mental game has improved in recent years, and he's gained invaluable experience playing against pros and high-level amateurs. The good showings in pro events along with passing through the first and second stages of Web.com Tour Q-School helped convince him he is ready for the pro level.

"I felt I was good enough when I competed in the pro events and got to play with top pros," he said. "I played with Jordan Spieth in the Australian Open, which was an awesome experience, played against other pros and I felt as if I had the ability to be head to head with them. I love playing professional events, and that made me work even harder to one day turn pro." Gwk

Federer, 37, shocked by Tsitsipas, 20, at Australian Open

Roger Federer's bid for a third consecutive Australian Open title ended in a surprising 6-7 (11), 7-6 (3), 7-5, 7-6 (5) loss to 20-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas, the first player from Greece to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal. The key stat Sunday night: Federer failed to convert any of the 12 break points he earned. Tsitsipas went 1 for 3 in that category, getting his only break in the last game of the third set. At 37, Federer was the oldest man left in the field. Tsitsipas is the youngest.
